Hello everyone. I have a question regarding my Leo. I have had ( which I am pretty sure is a her ) for a month now and the past few days she has been wandering and climbing all over her tank way more than usual. She keeps climbing her plants towards the top of her enclosure looking for a way to get out and wanders around looking up constantly. Today she was inside her tuperware humid hide I made and was scratching the lid from the inside. She is almost 8 inches long and weighs 54 grams. She has always had a very good appetite until the last few days when her wandering started. She does eat but very little and seems to have lost interest in eating the way she normally does .Instead of eating when I set her bowl of bugs in her tank she just comes out of her hide and wanders around everywhere totally ignoring her food. Nothing has changed with her setup since I got her. I have an Exo-Terra 36x18x12 with ceramic tile substrate and my temps on hot side are around 83-85 and on the cool side 75 with basking spot around 90-95. I have attached pics as well. I am wondering is she possibly ovulating and looking for a place to lay eggs or could something else be going on. She is my first gecko so this new behavior the last couple days is new and odd to me.. I have also attached a pic of her doing her sudden climbing as well as just a couple pics of her to show that she does look healthy

She does look very healthy. Look at her belly. Rounded pink spheres, about 1/4" in diameter is ovulation. Elongated white ovals, about 1" long on either side of the belly is eggs, though sometimes it can be confused with fat pads. Some (not many) female leos lay eggs even with no male on the scene. If you think you see eggs, you can give her a lay box if the humid hide you already has doesn't have something to dig in (if it does, you're OK). She may lay or it may just be ovulation.
